Muhammad  Fahad - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced security team efficiency and proactive threat management with room to improve alert management and cost-efficiency
There are several issues we are facing with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, including data overload, noise, and false positive alerts. We experience alert fatigue, contextual gaps, integration complexity, and timeliness of intelligence challenges in our environment. Areas that should be improved include noise reduction, prioritization, real-time delivery, and advanced threat coverage. The filtering algorithm should be improved to address these concerns.

Reasonable price, scalable, useful for Malops detections, and helpful for layered defense
We are not satisfied with their support. We are facing some challenges. They should be proactive, but we have to chase them a lot. This is where there is room for improvement. They should be proactively serving their customers. We had some batch update issues, and we're still working on them. We are almost there, but it took a couple of email exchanges in order to achieve it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The response service is the most valuable as it frees up our IT staff to focus on other tasks."
"The AI and the group knowledge base that they get from having multiple clients in the cloud is very useful to us."
"There are many different modules with this solution where vulnerability and inventory management can be carried out. The solution has a good dashboard and offers a lot of insights into your systems."
"The solution is quite flexible."
"With the support of the CrowdStrike team, I rate them a ten out of ten."
"The stability is great for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete."
"We have experienced ROI using this solution. The value is clear when you are able to stop a ransomware attack or other threats."
"Crowdstrike has better support than Carbon Black."
"It has a lot of things for Malops detections."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is not providing application control. This is a very useful feature in any endpoint security because if you want to block any malicious activity of any particular application, you can not block it in this solution. However, you are able to block hashes, but not executable files or processes. Additionally, this solution does not provide a user risk score. These are two areas that CrowdStrike Falcon Complete can improve on in the future."
"Their UI is a bit noisy."
"What could be improved in CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the threat hunting feature and the insights it provides, in particular, the variable analysis feature. Protection against zero-day threats and sandboxing could also be improved in CrowdStrike Falcon Complete. If you compare it with other solutions, it can go head-to-head, but the features I mentioned still need improvement."
"The licensing is a bit complex."
"It has a lot of false positives, which can be an issue, but you can verify these false positives."
"Its price and integration into a pre-existing process could be better."
"We'd like the pricing to be a bit lower in the future."
"The installation could always be a bit easier. You need to install it manually at the endpoint."
"Their support needs improvement. We have to chase the Customer Success Manager a lot to get things done. It should have more features in terms of portability. It should be more scalable on other endpoints such as mobile devices and BYOD."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay, although you're not going to get away cheap when it comes to security."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very expensive in comparison to Bitdefender."
"We have a yearly license, and it could be cheaper."
"This product is one of the more expensive ones on the market."
"Falcon Complete isn't too pricy."
"If you are looking from an IT standpoint, you get what you pay for. There is proactive monitoring in addition to the insurance policy. They do that better than others. Would you like it cheaper? Yes, but at what cost?"
"CrowdStrike is more expensive than SentinelOne. Licensing works on the number of agents and the modules you buy. CrowdStrike has different modules, such as Falcon, Falcon Overwatch, Falcon Complete, etc. The pricing depends upon the module that the customer wants. They have different Incident Response (IR) teams, which are very expensive."
"CrowdStrike has a reasonable price."
"Its price is reasonable, but there are other products that are cheaper than this."
